It keeps the wife’s interest peeked so the boys get to gather to watch the game . At half time the men abandon the t.v. for the woman to watch while they fill their guts and run outside to smoke and huff .
Well, basically no one watched the far-right halftime alternative anyway. While a whopping 128 million people tuned in to watch global superstar (whom again I’d never heard of until last week) Bad Bunny rap in Spanish about culture, beauty, and unity—just 4 million clocked in for Turning Point’s divisive, initial airing of its 25-minute broadcast, reported
The Independent.

Even the president—whose
administration said he would watch it—couldn’t be bothered to tune in for TPUSA. Instead, Donald Trump was glued to the Puerto Rican singer’s performance, which aired on all screens during a Super Bowl party at his Mar-a-Lago golf club, according to
clips taken by attendees of the event.
MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

Trump eventually confirmed he had watched Bad Bunny’s set instead of Kid Rock’s, though the news came by way of a classic Trump rant on Truth Social in which he complained that he doesn’t understand Spanish and claimed that the dancing—which included reggaeton, salsa, bomba, and merengue—was “disgusting.”
A year ago, everyone was doing the “Trump dance.” Now the president is too scared to show his face at the Super Bowl, and the right’s “alternative” halftime show features the cringey, washed-up Kid Rock.

The two most recent examples of the Trump dance I’ve encountered both came from South American leaders: Javier Milei, Argentina’s
extremely weird president, did it at a White House event last November. And Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro did it in January to
mock the president, who responded by sending Delta Force to kidnap him days later.
